Exactly why I was torn. I like Flyod just a tad more than Short as far as having any type of play-making ability (however much a D-lineman can have). But if Jones is close in the pros as what he was in college, it would be a good pick for a really talent lacking team.

Re: Russell Street community mock draft

Saints get a nice pass rusher, good pick Carey.

With the 16th pick, of the 2013 NFL draft, the Saint Louis Rams select, Lane Johnson, Offensive tackle, Oklahoma.
The Rams need to address the offensive line. Sam Bradford has been a mild disappointment as the first overall pick back in 2010, and a lot of that is because his offensive line has been woeful. The Rams get a raw, but potentially franchise left tackle with this pick.

Re: Russell Street community mock draft

The Steelers cut Casey Hampton and they're going to have to completely retool a lot of their defense, but it all starts up front for Dick LeBeau. Ziggy Hood isn't very good and Cameron Heyward didn't do much last year either.

Hankins can play DE, DT, or NT in a 3-4, does well against the run, pushes the pocket well, and would be a cornerstone piece for the Steelers' D to build off of. Unlike other big DT's in this draft, Hankins is a 3-down player.

Not sure why, but I am just not that big on him. I didn't watch a ton of Ohio Sate games this year, but I just got the impression he would disappear... or not have 100% all the time.

Re: Russell Street community mock draft

But if I was the Steelers, I'd go with Lacey, that guy is literally a human bull. I didn't see any "elite" SEC defense have an answer for him. Even Georgia got mauled by him. Jarvis Jones? Jenkins? Rambo? Ogletree? All ran over by this guy. He is one of those picks that could put the AFCN on notice for a team that will be plagued by the cap this year and into the future, the Steelers need all the day 1 starters they can get over the next few drafts, their last one is turning out to be a total fail so far, and Hankins may be that guy, but they have other options than him.
